Body cam shows moment deputies save overdose victim

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Opioid overdoses continue to make their way in the headlines as the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s office says overdoses continue to climb.

Dramatic body camera video shows the moment a deputy saved a woman from an apparent opioid overdose.

They warn any drug can take your life as more and more are being mixed with fentanyl.

If it wasn’t for a call to 911 Monday morning, deputies say another life would have been lost.

When deputies found her, she was lying on the floor of her kitchen.

“She was unconscious, labored breathing, really struggling, very low heartbeat,” Aaron Brilbeck with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office said. “When they applied the Narcan to her, they gave her two shots of the Narcan and it brought her back within just a few minutes.”

While the life-saving medication was administered, investigators questioned a man inside the home.
